A judge has sentenced Blueface to a suspended sentence of 24 months with a maximum sentence of 60 months, which is basically probation for a shooting that took place last year outside of a Las Vegas strip club.
As we previously reported, Blueface was taken into custody last November. The shooting happened around 4 a.m. on Oct. 8, 2022. Judge Kathleen Delaney already agreed to the plea deal over the summer, which requested for a probation-only sentence. On Monday, Delaney sentenced Porter to a suspended sentence of 2-5 years in prison, meaning he will only serve probation, his attorneys Kristina Wildeveld and Lisa Rasmussen said.
The victim said he was shot in the hand outside of Euphoric Gentlemen’s Club on Windy Road off the Las Vegas Strip, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. He recognized Porter in the venue and had spoken “with him earlier in the night.” The victim said he made a joke about Porter “speaking with some females in a cheap vehicle,” documents said.
After the sentencing today, the man shared a few words about the sentence and explained how he was “disappointed” with the outcome. “I’m just completely disappointed in this complete process honestly. From the DA to his representation, to him to everything. It’s just been a complete drop of the ball on my end. I have completely lost faith in the Justice system. This crime has done nothing but take a toll on my life since the day it happened. I haven’t been able to get work, everything has gone down the the drain. I just feel like this hasn’t been done on my behalf. I know people who get more time for stealing bubble gum. I’m just completely disappointed in all of this,” the victim shared in court.
Prosecutors initially charged Porter with attempted murder. The plea deal lowered the charges to battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure.
Blueface faced at least two civil cases related to the alleged shooting. Porter’s attorneys had asked a judge to pause any civil cases as his criminal proceedings moved forward.
Police arrested Porter on a robbery charge as he was entering court in June. Detectives said he had stolen a fan’s phone at the Palms casino. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the charge after Porter was sentenced in the shooting case, records showed.
